INTRODUCTION. 



T^HB CHRISTIAN BROTHERS 

(brothers of the christian schools.) 




THE BLESSED JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE, 

Founder of the Christian Brothers ( Brothers of the Christian Schools ), 

Born at Rheims, April 30, 1651 ; died at Rouen, April 7, 1719; 

beatified February 19, 1888. 

■TyTEARIED with the subjective labor of mental philoso- 
phy, human ingenuity has tuinied away from scholastic 
■questions and taken to investigating the air, the wind, the 
rocks. The material progress of this century has never been 
■equaled. We are adepts in the construction of conveniences 
for applying the principles established long before the dawn- 
ing of our day. Montaigne mentions the microbe theory of 
■disease ; Pasteur applied it. We boast of our splendid maps, 
telescopes, paper, elegantly bound and printed text - books, 
hygienic buildings and desks for our schools, but the methods 
and principles used in them were known and pi-acticed two 
■centuries ago. We are new in things, but not in thought. 

VVhiit Aristotle did for logic, what Dante did for the Italian 
tongue, Wagner for music as a medium of expression, that

did the Blessed John Baptist De La Salle for education. But 
he went one step farther than these masters — he established 
a society of men whose only object in life is to carry out the 
principles he discovered and formulated. This he did in 1680, 
when, renouncing his wealth and social standing, he took up 
his abode with a few companions and taught them the science 
and the art of pedagogy. To-day his society is spread through- 
out the world. The life-business of its members is education. 
For two hundred years they have tested the principles of their 
master, and these principles have not been found wanting. 
His fertile genius developed and directed every form of edu- 
cational establishment known even to this inventive age; and 
throughout the world to-day, wherever a schoolroom is pre- 
sided over by one teacher, the eloquent tribute of silent imi- 
tation is rendered the genius of John Baptist De La Salle. 
Personally a saint, the written law that governs his society 
calls for holiness in every Brother of the Christian Schools. 
Wise with a wisdom not of this world, he knew the marvel- 
lous influence of a teacher's personality on his class, and con- 
sequently he demands from the teacher a high standard of 
virtue. The glory of his genius has circled the globe. Louis 
XIV was on the throne, Racine and Corneille were penning 
their masterpieces, when he was born. To-day history tells 
us of this dead and vanished King, and the world has pre- 
served the lifeless pages of the immortal poets; but John 
Baptist De La Salle lives in every member of the order he 
founded — nine thousand strong in France, two thousand in 
the Americas, and the remaining five thousand scattered over 
the globe.

THE 



Christian Brothers' College, 



MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. 




riTHE "Christian Brothers' College" is conducted by the 
Christian Brothers — or, more properly, the Brothers of 
the Christian Schools — a religious order founded in France 
in 1680 by the Blessed John Baptist De La Salle. The order 
is now spread throughout the world, having schools and col- 
leges in every land. 

The College in Memphis was formally opened on Novem- 
ber 19, 1871, at the urgent solicitation of the clergy and peo- 



Christian Brothers' College. 



pie of the city, and more especially of the Most Reverend P. 
A. Feehan, then Bishop of Nashville, now Archbishop of 
Chicago. 

Previous to 1871 eflbrts had been made to induce the Chris- 
tian Brothers to establish one of their colleges in Memphis. 
In 1865 a very desirable location on Wellington street was 
purchased for the erection of a school for the Brothers b}^ the 
Reverend Thomas L. Power, 0. P., then pastor of St. Peter's 
Church. The pressing demand for schools in other places, 
however, made it impossible to open the Memphis house be- 
fore 1871. The great fire of that year having destroyed the 
Christian Brothers' College in Chicago, the Provincial was 
enabled to spare a few members of the order for the purpose 
of establishing a college in Memphis. 

The Bishop, the clergy, and citizens of all denominations, 
united in a subscription for the purpose of paying the first 
installment on the College property. That world famed pul- 
pit orator, the Very Reverend Thomas N. Burke, O. P., gave 
one of his first lectures in America — "The Ruins of Ire- 
land" — to aid in establishing the College. The lecture was 
delivered at the old Greenlaw Opera House on Monday even- 
ing, January 15, 1872. 

The College property is situated on Adams street, in a cen- 
tral part of the city, and embraces a portion of the ground 
and buildings of the old "Memphis Female College" estab- 
lished by C. G. McPherson in 1854. The charter granted to 
the Memphis Female College in 1854 by the Legislature ot 
the State was revised in 1872 so as to be made applicable to 
a college for young men. The original property has been very 
much enlarged and increased in value by the Christian Broth- 
ers, who have spent many thousands of dollars in the purchase 
of additional ground and in the erection of new buildings.

Christian Brothers' College. 



Daring the past twenty-five years the career of the College 
has been that of the city; it has shared in her misfortunes 
and participated in her prosperity. As successive epidemics 
and periods of financial depression have not prevented Mem- 
phis from advancing to that rank for which her location and 
other advantages have destined her, so neither have they been 
able to thwart the efforts of the Christian Brothers in estab- 
lishing an educational institution of high rank in this pro- 
gressive Southern city. True, they have labored under dis- 
advantages. With no endowment and but little help, they 
are not yet free from all financial obligations on their prop- 
erty. Perhaps the near future will bring forward some phil- 
anthropists who will do for the Christian Brothers' College 
of Memphis what others have done for so many institutions 
throughout the land. 

In the jubilee year of their existence in Memphis, the Chris- 
tian Brothers are able to show good work done in the past, 
and they point with pride to the number of young men who 
have gone forth from the school to occupy positions of trust 
and responsibility in the church, and in the mercantile, as well 
as in the professional, world.

SYSTEM OF 

INSTRUCTION AND TRAINING 



yTTHE Christian Brothers, a society entirely devoted to the 
great work of educating youth, have for many years 
seriously directed their attention to a consideration of the 
essentials necessary for the young men of our country to 
acquire a refined and eminently liberal education. Taking 
the subject in its more extended meaning, they founded their 
system with a view of aliording a full and vigorous develop- 
ment of all the mental and physical powers. They make it 
especially the chief end of their teaching, to furnish the minds 
of their pupils with a summary of moral and religious truths 
that will serve as a safe rule of conduct in after life. They 
do not look upon education as a mere automaton by which a 
certain complement of moral truths or scientific facts may be 
crammed into the memory without, at the same time, a stren- 
uous effort being made on the part of instructors to induce 
the reasoning faculties of their pupils to form a clear con- 
ception of the knowledge acquired. 

It is their conviction, deduced from long experience in 
teaching and from the writings of the most eminent instruct- 
ors in past ages, that the intellect should be conducted to 
the discovery of truth by the pure efforts of its own innate 
activity, and that no scientific fact should be received into 
the mental capacities without being distinctly perceived by the 
understanding. Therefore, they regard the communication of 



Christian Brothers' College. 11 

knowledge as only of subordinate importance when compared 
to the intellectual exertion made in the endeavor to acquire 
clear, distinct and adequate notions of all facts submitted to 
the mind for reflection. They are firmly persuaded that each 
successive step toward, advancement in scientific knowledge 
must result from the student's own efforts, aided and directed 
by methodical text-books and experienced teachers. In ac- 
cordance with these convictions, their whole endeavor is to 
bring the minds of their pupils to a full command and ready 
employment of all their intellectual powers. But the great 
difficulty experienced by all instructors is, how to induce each 
individual pupil to go through a course of mental trainings 
at first slow and imperfect in its results, but finally rapid and 
complete, fitting the mind for any emergency encountered in 
the practical walks of life. Hence the Christian Brothers 
agree with all profound theorists on education, that, to secure 
ultimate success, the mind of the student must be accustomed 
to efforts of self-activity, and nothing must be done for him 
which he is capable of doing for himself. 

To carry into effect these fundamental and crowning prin- 
ciples of an enlightened and decidedly practical education, 
have been the chief aim and constant endeavors of the Fac- 
ulty and Professors of the Christian Brothers' College. And 
in inviting attention to their Catalogue, they sincerely hope 
that the results herein stated of the past years will meet the 
entire approbation of patrons and friends, and prove satisfac- 
torily to all that the aforementioned views on education are 
conscientiously carried out, as far as the times and attending 
circumstances permit. 

From a passing glance at the Prospectus given in this 
Catalogue, the various branches of knowledge taught within 
the halls of this Institution will become quite apparent. It 
will be seen that the classification of the studies has been 



12 Silver Jubilee Souvenir Catalogue. 

made wholly with a view of meeting all the demands of 
students desiring to pursue either a Preparatory", Commercial, 
Scientific or Collegiate course. The quality and amount of 
study embraced in each of these four departments are as- 
sorted and proportioned according to the strength and reach 
of the pupil's intellect. Each department is again divided 
into two or more classes, placed under the immediate direction 
of at least two professors. Ample time is afforded for the 
preparation of lessons in a spacious study hall, fitted out for 
this special purpose ; where tlie vigilance of a prefect is con- 
tinually exercised to see that all the students faithfully acquit 
themselves of their assigned duties. In the classroom, the 
instructor in each specialty goes through a searching examin- 
ation to assure himself that his pupils thoroughly understand 
the meaning of each term, as well as the specific and general 
bearing of the whole thought, contained in the lesson. Dur- 
ing these examinations, the students are permitted to inter- 
rogate their professor, and eacli other, on all facts connected 
witli the subject of study, provided it be done in good order 
and in a spirit of generous rivalry. 

No student will be promoted to a higher class, or advanced 
in his studies, without giving evidence of proficiency in all 
his previous attainments. For this purpose an inspector, 
appointed by the Faculty, makes it his duty to pay regular 
visits to all the classes, and also to see that a proper grada- 
tion is maintained throughout the several departments. 

The Preparatory, Intermediate and Commercial Courses 
embrace all those branches of knowledge deemed indispens- 
able in the thrifty and practical avocations of life. The 
Scientific and Literary Course, pursued in the Collegiate 
Department, is intended to fit 3'oung men who have the nec- 
essary time and requisite means at their disposal for the after 
successful study of any one of the learned professions and 



Christian Brotliers' College. 13 

entitling them to take out their university degrees, when the 
Faculty shall deem them in every respect deserving the honor. 
The Greek and Latin Classics, English Literature and Philos- 
ophy constitute an integral part of this course. At the same 
time, the different branches of Natural History, especially 
Physics and Chemistry, are sedulously taught both by theory 
and experiment. While the pure and mixed Mathematics are 
studied with a completeness and precision unsurpassed by 
similar institutions in the country. 

The main object in view in this department is to conduct 
the minds of those students who have already acquired a suffi- 
cient knowledge of the liberal arts through the higher grades 
of a purely intellectual training. For this purpose the junior 
members will be required to devote special attention to the 
study of Metaphysics, Logic, and the Philosophy of History 
and Literature. And the senior members must be unsparing 
in their endeavors to attain a sound knowledge of the prin- 
ciples of Political and Moral Philosophy and the doctrine of 
Ontology. 

Though the Modern Languages, Linear and Ornamental 
Drawing and Instrumental Music are left optional with the 
student, yet the Faculty hold out every inducement toward 
a successful prosecution of these necessary accomplishments 
of a really liberal and finished education. To this encourage- 
ment may, in part, be attributed the marked improvement 
made by the students of the School in Art during past years. 

Written and oral examinations are held at stated periods 
during the year and toward the close of the session, so as to 
leave on the mind a lasting impression of those general prin- 
ciples which should never be forgotten, to keep the mind of 
the pupil intensely at work to the close of the term, and to 
ascertain who are worthy of promotion or of the honors of 
the College. 



14 Silver Jubilee Souvenir Catalogue. 

With such a diversity of studies, optional with the students, 
and the completeness with which they are prosecuted, to- 
gether with the incentiv^es used to insure success, the Faculty 
and Professors of the Christian Brothers" College believe that 
they aflbrd every inducement to parents and guardians to 
patronize their institution, while from the peculiar adapta- 
tion of the class system to form the young mind for reflec- 
tion, in the varied classilication of studies, the pupils, at any 
stage of improvement, may find whatever suits the bent of 
their faculties, and more directly tit them for the after require- 
ments of tlieir intended career.

PROSPECTUS. 

rnilE object of this institution is to afford students the 
means of acquiring a refined and liberal education. 

The location of the College buildings is on one of the most 
elevated and desirable positions in the city of Memphis. The 
extensive buildings are as perfect for health and comfort as 
the most approved methods of steam heating, lighting and 
ventilation can suggest. 

The discipline of the institution is of a suasive and parental 
character. Conducted by the Christian Brothers, who are 
specially vowed to the culture of youth, it is hardly necessary 
to assure the public that vigilant care is bestowed on the 
moral training of all committed to their charge. 

The curriculum runs through a Preparatory, Commercial 
and Collegiate, Literary and Scientific course, commencing 
about the first of September of each year, and ending on the 
first of July next ensuing. 

On completing the Classical or Scientific course, degrees 
are conferred on students who prove themselves deserving of 
these distinctions, and after two years creditably spent in 
some literary pursuit, the graduate is entitled to the Master's 
degree. 

Diplomas are awarded to the students of the Commercial 
Department, provided they stand a satisfactory examination 
before the Faculty.

State of Tennessee, •' to confer the degree of A. B. mid A. M., 
and such other degrees as are usually conferred by similar insti- 
tutions in the United States.''

who have completed the regular Classical Course and have 
passed satisfactory examinations in the studies of the Sen- 
ior Year. 

The degree of Bachelor of Science is conferred upon stu- 
dents who have completed the regular Scientific Course and

Physical Culture. 

The Christian Brothers hold that moral and intellectual 
training without physical culture is an incomplete education. 

A well -equipped gymnasium provides in-door sport and 
exercise during inclement weather. Four hand-ball alleys 
invite students to healthful exercise. The College campus 
affords ample room for baseball, football, and the like. The 
field day sports of the past session have had a very happy 
effect in stimulating athletics. The baseball and other clubs 
in the College did honor to themselves in the many victories 
achieved. The following notice in the Commercial Appeal of 
June 27, 1897, shows the creditable record of the " Gideon 
Stars : " 

" The Gideon Stars of the Christian Brothers' College have disbanded for 
the summer, after having made a splendid record. They played fifteen games, 
winning twelve and losing three. The winning games were : Brothers 20, 
Chelsea Blues 4; Brothers 21, Exchange Stars 6; Brothers 12, University School 
11; Brothers 17, University School 0; Brothers IB, University School 12; 
Brothers 19, Poplar Street Reds 11 ; Brothers 17, Boulevard Stars 15; Brothers 
14, Buchanan Pickups 8 ; Brothers 2, Chelsea Blues 1 ; Brothers 23, Fort Picker- 
ing Stars 4; Brothers 12, Goodbar Shoe Co. 9; Brothers 16, Alumni 6. The

Chelsea Blues 16, Brothers 14. The team was composed of Manogue, Meehan, 
McGregor, J. Kelly, Montedonico, Cook, Frankel, Canale (captain), F. Kelly 
and Botto." 

Drawing;. 

The College possesses great variety of valuable engravings,

tion in Freehand, Crayon, Linear or Mechanical Drawings, 
etc. With a view to greater results, additional models of the 
latest and most approved style are constantly added. 

Honors. 

The College was honored at the International Health 
Exposition, London, England, 1884, for its Excellent Crayon 
Drawings, Class Work, Bookkeeping, and for its Museum of

Literary and Debating Societies. 



rJSr several classes the students have formed themselves into 
Literary Societies with the sole aim of improving them- 
selves in oral discussion, and of acquiring a correct and 
refined style of composition. The Faculty have approved 
the constitutions, by-laws and rules of order of the Societies. 
These have been drawn up so as to be in accordance with the 
peculiar workings of an educational institution. The mem- 
bers hold weekly meetings in the halls of the College. The 
Professors of English Literature always attend these sittings 
and act in the capacity of critics. 

All compositions must be read before the Society, and 
afterward placed upon the desk of the critic for correction. 
After being carefully revised, they are returned to the author, 
with written criticisms subjoined. All subjects read, or de-

REPORT OF 

COMMITTEE ON SOUVENIR CATALOGUE. 

The Oonimittee on the Silver Jubilee Souvenir Catakjgue 
decided upon having a number of exterior and interior half- 
tone views of the College, the portraits of the four Brothers 
who were founders of the College, and at least three other& 
who had spent many j'ears in building up the institution 
during the past quarter of a century. It was with difficulty 
that Brother Maurelian consented to allow his own portrait 
and those of the Brothers to be included, on the ground that 
it is unusual for members of religious orders to have their 
pictures appear in college catalogues. The Committee like- 
wise invited all members of the Alumni to send photographs 
so as to emphasize the kindly interest they felt in the College 
by having their portraits appear in the Catalogue. It is to 
be regretted that some arrived too late for publication. 

The grouping of the portraits, on account of the different 
sizes and styles of photographs, was left to the judgment ot 
the artist and engraver. 



REPORTS OF OTHER COMMITTEES. 

The reports of Committees on Banquet and Field Day 
Sports were approved and carried out in a manner worthy oi 
the Silver Jubilee Year.

History of the Silver Jubilee Celebration, 



The Commercial Appeal, the Ereni}tg Scimitar and the 
Catholic Journal furnislied their readers witli complete and 
interesting acconnts of the celel)ration, and the re})orts and 
editorial notices are herewith reproduced as follows: 

[ P'roni Catholic Journal.] 

Duiing the first three days of this week the celebration of the silver jubilee 
of the Christian Brothers' College took place. Twenty-five years ago last No- 
vember, at the urgent solicitation of Bishop - now Archbishop — Feehan and of 
the Very Rev. M. Kiordan, Vicar-General, four Christian Brothers, three of them 
from the North and one from the South, came to Memphis for the purpose of 
establishing in our city one of their colleges. These Brothers were Brother 
Maurelian, who since the foundation of the College has been its President; he 
came from Pass Christian, Miss., over the college at which place he had been 
Vice-President; Ihother Anthony, now Vice-Presi'dent of the College ; Brother 
Clement, now of the Christian Brothers' College, St. Louis, and Ihother Lupe- 
rius, who died in his early manhood in Santa Fe, New Mexico, wliitlier he had 
gone for the benefit of his failing health. These three Brothers came from 
Chicago. Ihe great fire of October, 1871, had destroyed the College of the 
Brothers in Chicago, and had made it possible to send some Brothers to open 
the institution in Memphis. Many years previous to this there had been a de- 
mand for the Brothers in Memphis, and the Rev. Thomas L. Power, O. P., then 
pastor of St. Peter's, had gone so far as to purchase some ground on Wellington 
street for tlie purpose of erecting a school for the Brothers. Circumstances, 
however, delayed their coming until 1871. 

During all these twenty-five years the career of the College has been like that 
of the city itself, a varied one. Like the city, it has had its periods of depres- 
sion and of prosperity. Notwithstanding epidemics and financial panics, and 
often at great personal sacrifices the Brothers remained at their post, faithful to 
the sacred trust of education, and the result is tliat although in the past quar- 
ter of a century about forty private schools have come and gone, the Christian 
Brothers' College is with us today, and can point with pride to her work of the 
past twenty-five years. 

The exercises of the week were an appropriate celebration of the College's 
silver feast. There were several distinguished visitors present who had come to 
rejoice with the Brothers at their success. Bishop Byrne was unavoidably absent, 
much to the regret of all. He sent a letter in which he offered his congrat- 
ulations and expressed his regret at his enforced absence. The Very Rev. P. J. 
Cleeson, Vicar-General, was present during the first two days of the jubilee, 



Christian Brothers' •College. 53 

but was compelled to return to Nashville on Tuesday night. Besides the local 
clergy, the Rev. Thomas V. Tobin of Chattanooga and the Rev. William A. 
Shannon of McEwen, both alumni of the College, the Rev. William Walsh of 
Jackson, and the Rev. J. J. Beucler of Humboldt, were in attendance. 

The jubilee celebration began on Monday morning at 9 o'clock with a solemn 
high mass in the College Chapel. The celebrant was the Rev. William A. Shan- 
non. The Rev. Father Veale of St. Patrick's officiated as deacon, the Rev. 
Father Hugo of St. Mary's as sub-deacon. The Rev. Father Luiselli of St. 
Joseph's was master of ceremonies. The Very Rev. Vicar-General Gleeson gave 
benediction of the blessed sacrament at the close of the mass. 

The sermon of the day was preached by the Rev. Thomas V. Tobin of Chat- 
tanooga, one of the most scholarly mt-n among the priests of the South. The 
text chosen was "This is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith." 
After an appropriate introduction the Reverend Father said in substance: 

" In times like ours, when material interests are the main if not the only thing 
sought for in education, when Christianity, with its supernatural aims and 
objects, is freely spoken of as an ' episode of disease and delirium,' it is gratify- 
ing to find men with higher and nobler aspirations devoting themselves to the 
t?sk of holding within its banks the great Mississippi of materialism and pre- 
venting its causing widespread disaster and devastation. As we look back over 
the career of the Brothers we ask ourselves what is in their system of education 
that makes for the securing of the right kind of men to proclaim the real great- 
ness of the country ? The answer is in the words of the text. 

" Therefore the greatness of the faith and the dangers to which it is exposed 
in this line will be the title of our theme this morning." 

These two points were developed at some length. The Reverend Father 
touched very pathetically on the losses which the Church has sustained in this 
Southern land, and gave as his excuse for introducing a painful subject on a 
public occasion when words of congratulation were the order of the day, that 
the mention of these dangers would bind all more closely to the Brothers and 
stimulate them to go on with their noble work. 

In conclusion the speaker pointed out how the isolation of the Brothers from 
the world, with its irritating and time-destroying cares, rendered them singu- 
larly fitted to pursue their chosen vocation. "Certainly the times in which we 
live call for every advantage that can be brought to bear on their work," said 
the speaker. "It has been said by Mr. Mallock, the author of 'Is Life Worth 
Living?' that for several centuries after the first conquests of Christianity man's 
faith and his loftier feelings had the way made plain before them. The whole 
empire of human thought belonged to them. This old state of things endures 
no longer. Upon this empire, as upon that of Rome, calamity has fallen at 
last. A horde of intellectual barbarians has burst in upon it and taken by force 
the length and breadth of it. The result has been astounding. 

" If the Brothers can offer any resistance to the incursion of intellectual bar- 
barians—all the more dangerous because armed with tlie weapons of civiliza- 
tion — they shall have done a great work, which should entitle them to the praise 
and gratitude of men." 

After the services on Monday the visiting and local clergy were entertained 
at dinner by the Brothers.

A pleasing and graceful recognition of the services of the Brothers, as well as 
a lasting souvenir of the jubilee, was the act of the reverend clergy in com- 
pletely refurnishing the parlor of the College. A carpet of the most elegant 
■design, and furniture of the most modern and beautiful pattern will serve for 
many a day to recall the jubilee year. A beautiful missal and silverware were 
also presented. 

Field Day Sports. 

A pleasing feature of the first day of the jubilee celebration was the first

umbrella. Ed. Shea was second, 32 feet 3 inches. The prize awarded him was 
a pit game chicken. John Stehlin was third and covered 32 feet.

The twenty-fourth event was the tug of war between the collegiate and com- 
mercial students, resulting in a victory for the latter. The prize was watermel-

The twenty-fifth event was a three-legged race by teams under 15 years old. 
Ed. Gerber and J. Lightfoot won the first race, a pair of Bluff City game fowls. 
F. Dunn and J. Thompson won the second prize, a basket of fruit. 

The twenty-sixth and last event was putting the shot. John N. Maguire was

Brother Maurelian. This event concluded with a game of ball between the 
present and past students, which was won by the present nine, by a score of U) 
to (i. The prizes were all contributed by friends' of the College, save those 
given by the Brothers. 

The field officers were : Referee, Frank Fransioli ; Clerk, Charles A. Gerber; 
Judges -Dan Grace, Charles O'Neil, O.K. Robertson; Timers — William Hoff- 
man, Phil. Pidgeon ; Scorer, William Horgan ; Starter, J. Malcolm Semmes ;

S. E. Rice, D. M. Hall ; Committee on Programme — Charles A. Gerber, George 
Hook; Committee on Prizes — John D. Canale, Raphael S. Bryan. 

Each student and each visitor was supplied with a knot of ribbon, the colors 
of the College — orange, purple and red — which were tied about the staff of a 
tiny flag. 

A 24-page Catalogue, giving programmes of events, names of contestants and 
advertising by enterprising business men of Memphis, was distributed among 
students and visitors. Charles Gerber, of the Alumni Society, deserves great 
credit for his energy in bringing out this beautiful pamphlet. 

The second day of the silver jubilee celebration opened with a solemn high 
mass in the College chapel at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. The mass was for the 
repose of the souls of the deceased Brothers, students, patrons and benefactors. 
The Very Reverend M. A. Horrigan of St. Peter's was celebrant ; the Reverend 
Father Twohig, O.P., deacon; the Reverend Father Larkin of St. Bridget's, 
sub-deacon ; the Reverend George K. Murphy, chaplain of the College, master 
of ceremonies. The Reverend Fathers Tobin of Chattanooga, Shannon of 
McEwen, Beucler of Humboldt, assisted in the sanctuary. There were also in 
attendance a number of students, patrons and friends. 



ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES 

Of the Christian Brothers^ College, 

The Lyceum Filled — A Very Delightful and Exceedingly Fine 
Programme Rendered. 

As usual, the attendance at the annual commencement exercises of the 
Christian Brothers' College on Tuesday night was limited only by the size of 
the Lyceum, the prettiest theater in the .South. 

The opening number of the programme was a march, "The Senator," by the 
College orchestra, rendered with fine effect. Anthony J. Canale, one of the 
graduates, next recited in a very clever manner, "The Fate of Virginia." 
Another selection by the College orchestra preceded J. Robert Brewer's admirable 
declamation, "The Moor's Revenge." John H. Fisher exquisitely rendered a 



Christian Brothers' College. 59 

-violin solo, and the College orchestra an overture, when Moore Moore, Jr., 
delivered an exceptionally fine essay, " In the Van of Progress." Raymond E. 
Manogue's popular composition, " Council Two-Step," was played by the College 
band and was met with much favor. The violin solo of Harry Dix was also 
warmly greeted, but the gem of the evening was the valedictory of Raymond 
E. Manogue, captioned " A Modern Panacea." It was delivered in a clear voice, 
with graceful gesture and excellent effect, showing a depth of sound reasoning 
and profound thought, with logical deductions seldom met with in the average 
•college graduate. Raymond drew a very realistic picture of the nihilism of 
Russia, the communism of France and England, the socialism of Germany, and 
the anarchy of America, which, he contended, -were all derived from the one 
root and based on the same dangerous principles, and then argued to show that 
Christianity was the best panacea for these evils. The Glee Club sang "The 
Men of Horlech," and responded to an encore, and then Hon. Frank L. 
Monteverde delivered a very eloquent and interesting address on the silver 
jubilee. The College orchestra next rendered "The Calvary Charge" in a 
manner that thrilled the entire audience. The conferring of degrees and award- 
ing of prizes and honorable mention followed. 

President Maurelian then delivered a brief address to the graduates, telling 
them to be true to God, their country and themselves, and they would be loyal 
citizens and an honor to their Alma Mater. He spoke as follows : 

" My Dear Young Friends : — I charge you on this solemn and auspicious 
occasion ever to be true to God and to yourselves. If you live up to the teach- 
ings of your preceptors you will secure God's favor and deserve the respect, 
love and esteem of your fellow men. 

" In virtue of your graduation you become members of the Alumni Society 
which numbers in its ranks so many splendid men of whom the College is 
justly proud. Among the best fruits of the College I shall mention two noble 
priests who have come to unite in the silver jubilee celebration; we have also 
six candidates for the priesthood in the seminary. Several are in the ranks of 
the Christian Brothers. Very many are prominent in the professions, in all 
branches of business, as mechanics, etc. The College is deeply indebted to the 
reverend clergy for the moral support and encouragement given us during the 
past twenty-five years. A tangible and substantial proof of their good will and 
appreciation was given yesterday by the reverend clergy of the diocese in com- 
pletely refurnishing the College parlor with an elegance worthy of the reverend 
•clergy and of the College. I take pleasure in expressing heartfelt thanks to 
them in my own name and on behalf of the Faculty. 

"The good will and affection of the former students is exceedingly gratifying. 
Our former pupils are always welcome. I wish them to feel at home and to 
make themselves at home about the College. The members of the Alumni 
Society have determined, at their own expense, to issue a handsome souvenir 
catalogue of the silver jubilee year. This is noble evidence of affection for 
their Alma Mater. 

" The silver jubilee celebration affords me a fitting occasion to extend a cordial 
greeting to our benefactors, patrons and friends, and on behalf of the Faculty I 
now offer formal expression of thanks and appreciation for past favors, and I 
•express the hope that the fruit of our labors in the past twenty-five years may

will for the Christian lirothers" College a larger continuance of encouragement 
from a generous ])ublic. 

"Comparatively little has been done financially for education in the South. It 
is true that friends and benefactors have loaned the College money at a low rate 
of interest, but whatever improvements have been made, and whatever success 
the College has had either in making improvements or in tiding over disastrous- 
periods of epidemics and depression, has been done either on borrowed money 
or from the revenue of the College. 

" It would indeed be very cheering if j)ublic - spirited and generous - hearted 
citizens were to iiiil the College in meeting all its obligations, as also to make 
needed improvements and secure a more complete outlit of the best of modern 
scientific appliances. Such an achievement would reflect honor upon the city of 
Memphis, which is proverbial for its commercial importance and its refined and 
higiily educated people. The order of the Christian Brothers has made very 
great sacrifices during the past twenty-five years in supplying members, and in a 
financial w^ay, that few can comj^rehend. 

" 1 must not conclude without publicly thanking the good lirothers who have 
been associated with me tluring the past twenty-five years. The building up ol 
a college is not the work of one man, but the co-operation and uniteil efforts of 
many zealous workers. I thank my dear confreres for their zeal, energy and 
devotedness in the great work of Christian education. I may be pardoned for 
taking the liberty of specially thanking Hrother Anthony, the Vice-President, 
who, for nearly twenty-five years, has shared the burdens and difficulties of the 
College with most remarkable zeal and perseverance. I desire likewise to 
return thanks to the Dominican Fathers for prizes for Christian doctrine, Dr. 
lames II. Reilly for prizes for elocution, and a prominent merchant for jK'iO cash 
to aid in coveriiig expense ot prizes." 



THE ALUMNI BANQUET. 

The Largest and Most Enjoyable Ever Held Eloquent Post-Prandial 

Speeches — Cordial Greetings to Brothers Maurelian 

and Anthony. 

One of the pleasantest features of the silver jubilee of the Brothers' College 
was the reunion and banquet given by the Alumni Society on Wednesday night. 
It was the largest gathering that has ever taken place since the Society was 
organized. Evidently the members of the Alumni feel a deep interest in and 
cherish a fond remembrance of the old institution wherein they were educated, 
and were elated at the opportunity of participating in the celebration of its- 
silver jubilee. 

The bancjuet hall presented a beautiful scene when all were seated around the 
festal board. Among the clergy present were Rev. Father Walsh, Rev. Father 
Larkin, Rev. Father Tobin, Rev. Father Murphy, Rev. Father Shannon, Rev. 
Father Horrigan, Rev. Father Beucler and Ke\ . Father Graham. 

Hon. R. A. C>dlum, President of the Society, occupied the seat of honor, and 
beside him sat Brothers Maurelian and Anthony. 

The tables were laden with all the delicacies that might tempt the most fas- 
tidious, and when ample justice was done the splendid spread, Hon. R. A.

Odium arose and delivered the address of welcome. The speaker paid an elo- 
quent and beautiful tribute to the good Brothers who have done so much for the 
young men of Memphis. Mr. Odium was one of the first students of the Col- 
lege, when it opened here twenty-five years ago, one of its first graduates, and 
one of the brightest men that the institution has ever turned out. He briefly 
reviewed the history of the College and showed the magnificent work it has 
accomplished. 

Mr. Thomas R. Boyle, a senior alumnus, was the next speaker, and responded 
to the toast, " Our Alma Mater," in a pleasing and graceful manner. 

Raymond E. Manogue, a young graduate, whose valedictory at the Commence- 
ment exercises has been so favorably commented on by all who heard it, and 
who has gained more than a State reputation by the essay on " A Constitutional 
Convention," answered for "The Class of '97." and did it in a most gratifying 
manner. 

Mr. Phil. Pidgeon responded to " Our Merchants," and being a very successful 
one himself, knew whereof he spoke. He handled the subject in a decidedly 
interesting and practical manner that met with hearty approval. 

When President Maurelian arose to respond to "The Christian Brothers," he 
was greeted with a storm of applause that plainly indicated the warm place he 
holds in the hearts of the members of the Alumni. In that quiet and modest 
manner so characteristic of this distinguished educator, he disclaimed any 
honors for the great work he has accomplished, and said that he had only en- 
deavored to perform his duty. To Brother Anthony and the other members of 
the order who had labored with him he paid a deserving tribute. Then he 
spoke to his boys in a tender, paternal manner that must have touched the 
hearts of his old pupils. lie bade them ever a cordial welcome to the College, 
and assured them that in him they would ever find a faithful friend. 

In response to repeated calls Rev. Father ^Villiam Walsh arose and spoke 
briefly to the Alumni. He referred to the good work that 18,000 Christian 
Brothers were performing in the educational field throughout the world, teach- 
in;,' a half million students, but in no land or no city was a nobler band of 
educators than in Memphis. The speaker referred to Brothers Maurelian and 
Anthony in particular and the deep debt of gratitude due them for their great 
work in the educational field in this city. In conclusion he told the students 
that if they ever needed a friend, to call upon him at any time or place, whether 
he might be in Jackson, on the hills of Chattanooga, or on the seven hills of 
historic Rome, and though he might not be as affectionate and tender as their 
honored President, he would be as sincere and willing to assist them. 

Brother Anthony was called upon and greeted with heartiest applause. He 
responded in an appropriate manner, reviewing old times in the history of the 
College. 

Raphael S. Bryan very happily dealt with the subject, "College Chestnuts," 
and did it full justice. 

Hon. Frank L. Monteverde delivered a very eloquent extempore speech on 
"The City of Memphis," which was greeted with generous applause. 

Rev. William A. Shannon, of McEwen, an alumnus of the College, and one 
of the most talented young priests of the diocese, responded to the toast, "Our 
Reverend Clergy," in a learned and masterly manner.

But the speech of the occasion — excepting, of course, the address of the 
President — was delivered by Eldridge E. Wright, one of the most brilliant and 
successful young lawyers of our city. Eldridge, who is always eloquent, ap- 
peared at his very best on this occasion, and seemed to heartily enter in the glad 
rejoicings of the silver jubilee of his Alma Mater. It was a magnificent effort, 
.scholarly and eloquent, and delivered in a masterly manner that repeatedly 
elicited ringing applause from his delighted hearers, and plainly stamped the 
young lawyer as one of the ablest and most brilliant young men ever graduated 
from the Christian Brothers' College. 

Dr. R. B. McKinney spoke very entertainingly in response to the toast, "Our 
Doctors," and the other speakers were the editor of the Catholic Journal, and 
Mr. Frank Zimmermann, editor of the excellent German paper, the Post Journal. 

Telegrams and letters were read, offering congratulations and expressing regret 
at not being able to attend. The following are the names of those from whom 
messages were received: Rt. Rev. Thomas S. Byrne, of Nashville; His Honor 
Mayor Clapp ; Rev. Brother I'aulian, Provincial, St. Louis; Very Rev. P. J 
Gleeson, V. G., Nashville : Rev. T. C. Abbott, Nashville; Rev. Brother Abban 
Chicago; Rev. Brother Clement, St. Louis; Dr. R. W. Mitchell, Dr. D. D 
Saunders, Dr. A G. Sinclair, Dr. Joseph H. Venn ; George Kin Eigley, Em 
mettsburg, Md. ; James Gunn, Brinkley, Ark. ; Charles A. O'Niell, Franklin 
La. ; Schuyler V>. Athey, Chattanooga, Tenn. Hon. M. R. Patterson sent mes- 
sage that his official duties prevented him from attending. 

In his letter Rt. Rev. ISishop Byrne expressed regret at his inability to be 
present, and sent best vyishes for the continued success of the College. 

This closed one of the most enjoyable and largely attended meetings of the 
Alumni of the Christian Brothers' College. 

Over an hundred covers were laid and the old College banquet hall never 
before presented such a happy, festive scene.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY. 

During the past week the Christian Brothers' College, with athletics, oratory, 
music and all the ceremonies that could add reverence and joy to the occasion, 
celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of its establishment in our midst. Twenty- 
five years in our age and country is no short time. Especially is this true in the 
South, where the horrors of civil war and the miseries of reconstruction com- 
pelled the people to begin life anew. It was in the early years of the new era 
of the South that the Christian Brothers' College was founded. Inaugurated 
in the fall of 1871, during a period of general prosperity, nevertheless in its 
very infancy it was hampered by the epidemic and financial panic of 1873. 
Scarcely had it recovered from these when the pestilence of 1878 and that of 
18711 almost overwhelmed it. Far from being discouraged, and with an energy 
worthy of the cause, the Faculty of the College, led by the tireless Brother 
Maurelian, determined to share the fate of Memphis, be it for better or for 
worse. Considering the difficulties with which the College has had to contend, 
its success has been phenomenal. Without endowment, without capital of any 
kind other than their own self-sacrifice, the Christian Brothers entered upon

their work in Memphis. Theirs was no easy task. Men and money they have 
expended in the cause of education, and with no other income than tuition fees 
they have built up an institution of which Memphis has just reason to be proud. 
Their property, both in grounds and buildings, has been enlarged to double 
its original extent. All this has been done with but scant assistance from 
outside. True, some friendly citizens lent the College money at a low rate 
of interest, but apart from this all has been done by the unaided efforts of the 
Brothers. The financial depression of the past few years has naturally affected 
them in common with all the people of the South. It has made their burden 
harder and heavier to bear, but they have not recoiled from the task. The 
splendid efforts in oratory and music displayed in the recent public entertain- 
ments of the College have shown what the students are capable of achieving in 
these lines, while the catalogue of the Alumni points out the number of brilliant 
men, regardless of race or creed, that have gone forth from the College halls. 
In all sincerity, we wish the Christian Brothers continued success, and we hope 
that their golden jubilee will find their College as far in advance of what it is 
now as the silver jubilee has found it in advance of its inauguration day.

THE SILVER JUBILEE* 

The Christian Brothers' College of this city appropriately celebrated its silver 
jubilee during the past week. This has been an event of special importance, 
not only to the Catholic community, but to the non-Catholic as well. Twenty- 
five years ago a small band of zealous sons of De LaSalle came to our city on 
their mission of Christian education, and established a small college as befitted 
their humble means. This was at a period when Memphis was but recently 
recovering from the desolation of the greatest internecine strife of modern times. 
Our schools were few and not of a high order. The Brothers undertook to estab- 
lish an institution where boys could receive a thorough commercial and collegiate 
education that would fit them properly for the duties of life. While it was pri- 
marily intended for Catholics still those of other faiths were welcomed, and the 
number of pupils soon taxed the capacity of the school, and the Brothers found 
little time for rest or recreation. Years rolled on, and the terrible epidemics 
that decimated our city did not deter these holy men from their mission here, 
nor cause them to waver in the task that they had undertaken. What has been 
the result of their labors ? What have they accomplished in all those twenty-five 
years? It is not necessary for the Jotirnal X.o say, for the grand record of this 
institution speaks for itself, and is as well known throughout adjoining States as 
it is here in Memphis. 

It is the one and only thoroughly established Catholic college in Tennessee, 
Arkansas or Mississippi. It has grown apace with our city, and its magnificent 
buildings and grounds on Adams street are only the exterior indications of its 
real greatness. It has seen untold numbers of schools and alleged colleges start 
and fail in Memphis while it has continually advanced in greatness, increased 
in usefulness and the numbers of its students. Today it stands without a peer 
among the institutions of learning in Tennessee or adjoining States. To ascer- 
tain the real worth of the Christian Brothers' College one need but look among

the innumerable prominent and successful young men in the professional and 
commercial walks of life in this and other cities who are graduates of this insti- 
tution. Not only among Catholics but Protestants and Jews, all of whom found 
equal advantages and impartial treatment in this appreciated home of learning. 
The zeal and ability of the Brothers in their noble mission, for which they seek 
no personal recompense, are thoroughly appreciated by all who have been edu- 
cated at their college, and the kindly and devoted feeling of the Protestant and 
Jew students for their old teachers is the highest testimonial to the worth of 
these self-sacrificing men. 

The Brothers' College has done more toward upbuilding Memphis than any 
other one institution here. It has been the home of thorough education from 
whence our young men came forth well fitted for the great battle of life. It is 
a monument to the zeal and devotion of these faithful men whose mission in life 
is to serve God and impart Christian knowledge to our youth. 

But among all these who have contributed so much to the upbuilding of this 
great institution of learning, of which every Memphian, regardless of creed, is 
justly proud, it must be conceded that its success is chiefly attributable to Pres- 
ident Maurelian and Vice-President Anthony, two of its founders, and who are 
still at the head of the College they established and over which they have so 
zealously watched, and for which they have so diligently labored during the 
past quarter of a century. It was their untiring zeal, their indomitable courage 
in the face of all obstacles, their implicit faith in the eventual success that 
would crown their efforts, that have proven the chief factors in the grand edu- 
cational institution that is to-day so well known throughout the South, and such 
an appreciated credit to Memphis. While others have borne their full share of 
the labor, upon these two devolved the heaviest portion of the burden. Cheer- 
fully and conscientiously they have performed their labor of love, and the grati- 
fying result is now apparent to all. 

Brother Maurelian's great work at the World's Fair, where he so successfully 
managed the greatest Catholic educational exhibit that this or any other country 
has ever seen, is too well known to need more than passing notice. In many 
other ways this learned, pious and distinguished Brother has been honored ; on 
several occasions having been selected to visit Europe in the interests of the 
order. He was also chosen by Bishop Byrne to manage the exceHent Catholic 
educational exhibit at the Tennessee Centennial, and has performed his duties 
so well that prelate, pastors and the Catholic public who have visited Nashville 
are highly gratified. 

During all this time that responsible duties have called Brother Maurelian 
elsewhere a double duty has devolved upon Vice-President Anthony ; in fact, 
for several years he has practically managed the College, and in a most success- 
ful manner. Of Brother Gideon and other leading professors it is only neces- 
sary to say that each in his way has fully sustained the part without which there 
could be no complete success. 

The College is now so well established and so thoroughly identified with Mem- 
phis that it is inseparable from the history and prosperity of our city, and a 
golden glory will crown its fiftieth anniversary.
